Using osilodrostat and a special PET scan to find pituitary tumors in Cushing's disease

Cushing's DiseaseHypercortisolismPituitary AdenomaPituitary ACTH Secreting Adenoma

Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.

This study tests whether a combination of a drug called osilodrostat (which lowers cortisol levels) and a special PET scan can help find small pituitary tumors that MRI misses. This may help guide surgery or treatment for Cushing's disease.

Who can take part

  • You are 18 or older.

PET scan for Cushing disease pituitary adenomas

This study uses a special PET scan (FET PET/CT) to help find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing disease. The goal is to improve surgery planning so the tumor can be removed successfully.

Using DDAVP with PET scans to find pituitary tumor source

This study tests whether giving DDAVP before a PET scan can help doctors better locate the pituitary problem in people with Cushing disease. It may help confirm where the ACTH-producing tumor is so surgery can be planned more accurately.

New PET/MRI scan for hard-to-find pituitary tumors

This study tests a new type of PET/MRI scan that uses a special tracer (18F-FET) to better find small pituitary tumors that didn't show up on a standard MRI. The goal is to help guide surgery to remove the tumor.

Osilodrostat and steroid replacement for Cushing syndrome

This trial tests a new approach, called 'block-and-replace', for treating Cushing syndrome. You will take osilodrostat to lower high cortisol levels, along with a glucocorticoid (a steroid) to replace what your body needs. This study may help control the disease if surgery hasn't worked or isn't an option.

Testing adrenal gland function with a special scan

This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PentixaFor) to check how well your adrenal glands are working if you have high aldosterone or cortisol levels. It helps doctors see if the glands are making too much hormone, which may guide treatment.

Better brain scan for small pituitary tumors in Cushing's disease

This study tests a special type of brain scan (PET-MRI) to better find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing's disease. It may help people whose standard MRI didn't show a clear tumor.
